matiz

EN The following is as correct a version of the fact as the reader would be likely to obtain from any other source; although, assuredly, it has a tinge of romance approaching to the marvellous: In one of the apartments of the Province-House there was long preserved an ancient picture, the frame of which was as black as ebony, and the canvass itself so dark with age, damp, and smoke, that not a touch of the painter's art could be discerned.
GL A seguinte é unha versión tan correcta do feito como o leitor sería capaz de obter de calquera outra fonte, aínda que, certamente, ten un matiz de achegamento novelesco ao marabilloso. Nun dos apousentos da Casa da Provincia conservárase desde había tempo un antigo cadro, o marco do cal era tan negro coma o ébano e o lenzo mesmo tan escuro por mor da idade, a humidade e o fume, que ningún toque da arte do pintor podía distinguirse.
